===Mr. R's passports===

What do you think about adding in "Mr. R's Passports"? They're pretty nice; sort of a condensed worksheet intended to be smaller (4" x 5"). Let me know if you think they'd be a good addition, and I'll put them up (or not).

== Merit Badge DVDs Coming Soon ==

+

Coming soon you will be able to purchase DVDs with real scouts and real scout masters showing you how to earn your Merit Badge. These DVDs are fun and educational. The series of DVDs is called ''Build Your Skills Adapted from BSA's Merit Badge Requirements.''

+

+

== Worksheets (2008)==

+

The worksheets are completely updated for 2008. Over the past few years, the Boy Scouts of America had updated almost all of the merit badges. Most of the previous worksheets contained wording that did not follow the current BSA requirements. As of March, 2008, all worksheets should now only use the [http://www.scouting.org/BoyScouts/AdvancementandAwards/MeritBadges.aspx BSA] wording. Please email any corrections or suggestions to: [http://meritbadge.org/index.php?title=Special:Emailuser/Milominderbinder2 Craig]

+

+

You may have noted that some of the external links were broken or went to requirements that were out of date. Those should all be removed now. If you find any other bad links on any of the merit badge pages, please remove them. If there are external links that are missing from meritbadge.org, we should add them here.

+

+

The new worksheets also include many extra materials Scouts need:

+

+

* Blank Maps

+

* Graph paper

+

* Checklists

+

* Links to online references

+

* Over half add free online video lessons

+

+

The new worksheets also address formatting issues such as a need for increased line spacing to allow enough room for younger Scouts to write. These changes were made with direction of the site moderators. [[User:Milominderbinder2|Milominderbinder2]] 18:14, March 7, 2008 (EST)
